The Justice Department is seeking to extend the term of its landmark antitrust settlement with Microsoft by two years, blaming Microsoft's slowness in providing technical documentation to rivals.
Microsoft has agreed to pay Gateway $150 million over four years, as part of an agreement to settle antitrust claims brought by the computer maker, the two companies said Monday in the US.
Burst.com, a streaming media software company, on Monday filed a pre-trial motion with a US District Court in Baltimore asking the judge to find Microsoft has destroyed evidence and to instruct a jury to take that into consideration once the antitrust and patent infringement trial begins.
A U.S. Appeals Court on Wednesday upheld Microsoft's landmark antitrust settlement with the Department of Justice and several state attorneys general, rejecting Massachusetts' appeal for stiffer penalties.
Microsoft's last-ditch talks aimed at reaching a settlement with the European Union and avoiding antitrust action have failed, paving the way for a landmark legal ruling next week.
Microsoft's antitrust case and the Judge's ruling focus on Windows, But what about the Pocket PC? The OS for handhelds is stranded in limbo for both Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers supporting it.
